Vitex from the health food store has helped me tremendously. Research it on line first so you know how to take it. I have friends who have found soy isoflavones to be very helpful as well. Encapsulated at the health food store also. Good luck!
Dear Hot flashes,
I feel your sweat :) I suffer horribly from them too. Fish Oil ? all I ever got from fish oil was pimples and I'm 52 going on 53 next month. Right now I'm trying estroplus so far nothing is workingBut it has only been a few days. They say SSRI work(paxil, zoloft etc) well but you'll gain a ton of weight. I tried progesterone cream and that made me gain weight and hormones might make you bleed, that I don't want to mess with anymore since I've gone a full year without a period. I wish I knew what the answer was and there was a simple solution for this horrible dilema. I eat a ton of popcyles and use allot of ice pacs especially at night, it will help you get to sleep without waking abuptly sweating.
Good Luck
Dear hot flashes,
I tryed that stuff fish oil etc... no good for me, i ended up using the patch which has worked for the past 9 months, but now it seems to have stopped working, and i get hot days not flashes they last for days on end. I would try the patch first.
